Game Overview

Don’t always believe what you see on television, folks. Sometimes, what you see can create lifelong misconceptions. One which cartoons and movies have fed us is that mice love cheese. While they might eat it if hungry enough, mice prefer sweeter foods such as fruits, grains, and seeds. It’s not just television, however, as even slots, such as the subject of today’s review, Hacksaw Gaming’s Get The Cheese, help to peddle the myth. This 6×5 cluster pays slot is themed on a mouse hunting cheese, and it has a medium variance, a 96.31% RTP, and a 10,000x the stake maximum win.

While the theme is a bit cheesy, you cannot say that Hacksaw Gaming’s latest release lacks engaging gameplay. There is a Super Cascade that removes all instances of symbols involved in winning combinations, two types of Jumping Wild symbols that have increasing win multipliers, and three versions of a free spins bonus game. Plus, as you’d expect from Hacksaw, you can also choose from a wealth of bonus buy options.

Is Get the Cheese a slot that sounds good enough to eat, or will it leave a bad taste in your mouth? There’s only one true way to find out, and that is to play the demo below.

Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Get The Cheese slot paytable

There are not stacks of slots themed on these apparent cheese-loving rodents if you were hoping to try out dozens of games with this theme, but I have managed to unearth a couple if you wanted to try them out. Mystery Mice from Pragmatic Play is a good option, especially if it’s the cluster pays mechanic you enjoy over any other. It has a 5,000x the stake maximum win, power Wilds that remain on the reels for a set number of spins, and an exciting free spins bonus. Alternatively, you could go for Amazing Miceketeers from Bullshark Games, which has a 7×7 reel configuration and a 12,000x the stake max win.

It’s all about what you can win in this section, and there are some big combination payouts achievable on Get The Cheese, with the best coming when you land 16 or more Cheese Wedge symbols in a cluster, paying 500x the current stake. The Salami and Apple both share a 100x the stake top return, while the Pretzel and Donut both pay up to 30x. The Heart, Button, Bauble, and Peg low-paying symbols all max out at 20x the stake, whilst Scatter symbols, when they land six or more times anywhere in view, will return 100x the stake.

Last up, it’s the bet selection, and Get The Cheese slot has a total of 29 to choose from. These start from a low of €0.10 and rise to a high of €100.00, with many well-placed options in between.

Base Game & Modifiers

Get The Cheese slot base game

Hacksaw Gaming has implemented a cluster pays mechanic across the six reels and five rows of Get The Cheese. To create clusters, you must land five or more matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically anywhere on the reels.

Super Cascades

Any time a winning combination occurs, all regular paying symbols of the type that were part of the winning combination will also be removed from the grid, and new ones will drop down to fill the empty spaces.

Cheese Symbols

If Cheese symbols are a part of winning combinations, all regular symbols are removed from the reels, and a cascade commences.

Regular & Epic Jumping Wilds Multipliers

After every cascade, Jumping Wild Multipliers will jump to a new position on the reels to potentially help create further winning combinations. After each new jump, those symbols have their multiplier value increased by 1x. If they are Epic Jumping Wild Multipliers, their multiplier values start at 10x and increase by 10x with every jump.

Get The Cheese Slot Free Spins Feature

The Super Cascades and Jumping Wild Multipliers ensure that every base game spin offers great winning potential, but the ultimate aim is to trigger the free spins bonus games on Get the Cheese.

Free Spins Feature

DYou’ll trigger a free spins bonus when landing three or more scatter symbols anywhere in view. The bonus game you receive depends on how many triggering scatter symbols there are.

Fromage Frenzy Free Spins Bonus: in return for three scatter symbols, you’ll receive 8 free spins. This bonus game starts with two persistent Jumping Wild Multipliers on the reels. There is a Cheese meter above the reels that collects all Cheese symbols that land. Once it fills up, you’re given an additional 5 free spins and the Take it Cheesy free spins bonus triggers.

Take it Cheesy Free Spins Bonus: This bonus game triggers when four scatter symbols land on the base game or if you fill the metre in the Fromage Frenzy bonus. It plays out the same as the first bonus game, except now there are three persistent Jumping Wild Multipliers on the reels. If you fill the cheese meter this time, you receive an additional 5 free spins and unlock the Life’s So Gouda Free Spins bonus.

Life’s So Gouda Free Spins Bonus: This is unlocked via the cheese metre in the Take it Cheesy free spins bonus or by landing five scatter symbols during the base game. If the latter, you receive 12 free spins. The spins during this bonus contain three regular Jumping Wild Multipliers and one Epic jumping Wild Multiplier. Unlike the other free spins bonus games, the multiplier values on those symbols do not reset between spins.

During all of those bonus games, landing three or more scatter symbols will award an additional 5 free spins.

Bonus Buy

There are four bonus buy options to consider on Get the Cheese:

BonusHunt FeatureSpins: For 3x the current stake, you can spin with 5 times the chance to trigger a free spins bonus game.

Wild Mouse FeatureSpins: For 50x, each spin is guaranteed to deliver a win and land at least two Jumping Wild multiplier Symbols.

Fromage Frenzy Bonus: You can purchase the Fromage Frenzy Free Spins bonus for 50x the current stake.

Take it Cheesy Bonus: You can buy the Take it Cheesy free spins bonus at a cost of 100x the current spin bet.

Pros

Engaging Super Cascade mechanic.
Jumping Wild multipliers add extra win potential.

Cons

The medium variance may deter fans of more volatile slots.

Get the Cheese Slot Review Final Thoughts

Hacksaw Gaming’s Get The Cheese delivers a playful yet exciting experience wrapped in a theme that may take you back to classic cartoons. What makes the slot are the Super Cascades and Jumping Wild multipliers, which add serious win potential to every spin, especially in the bonus rounds where multipliers persist or grow with every jump. Get The Cheese comes highly recommended, especially if you’re a fan of cluster pays slots.

Little too generic of a theme for my liking but novel use of jumping multiplier wilds (although a little to close to Jammin’ Jars), just enough to set it apart.
Prefer Hacksaw’s darker stuff personally.

  Agreed, more of their cutesy style games. The darker stuff certainly has more of an edge to it for sure.
